Good luck morph!
How are morphs brake pipes doing? Ive been under mine a bit recently
and noticed that i seem to have some slightly rusty ones
I am now trying to decide if i can face brake bleeding a 101 or not!
or if i should just paint some more underseal on the chassis...

Porous brake pipes can and usually do lead to brown trousers!

I noticed some "slightly rusty" brake pipes on the S2a when I was
underneath. Didn't think anything of it. The MoT tester failed it on rusty
pipes (amongst other things) and recommended I replace the lot. When I
started to dismantle, much of the pipework came off in my hands. Especially
next to the unions, it was rusted right through, although to my untrained
eye it looked like just a bit of surface rust. I was probably one emergency
stop away from a serious brown trouser moment.

A friend's SII was similar, he nudged a brake line while fixing
something else and it just snapped despite very little force being put
on it. He'd rebuilt it from the chassis up many years ago and that
particular piece of pipe he'd just re-used rather than replaced for
some reason that he can't now recall.
I'd been told in the past to just ignore rust on brake lines as the
copper/brass/whatever it's made from self-seals against rust, i.e. the
first bit of rust protects it against getting any worse, like
aluminium, however that seems to be BS.

probably true on copper or cunifer lines, but the OE ones are almost
invariably steel and rust just fine.

I've heard that sorting out and bleeding the brakes on a 101 is not
fun

Yep as I found out about 2 weeks ago .and I didn't even see the rust as some
twonk had put greasy antirust crap on the pipe- surprising how far it sprays
when the pedal is pushed

The Good
Well ...Morphs well and truely touched, another 12 months of Landrovering
for him.
1505 miles since the last MOT.
The Bad
After dropping the caravan off I mentioned (From Eastnor) I mentioned he
sounded different. Well today he sounded like a Banshee has moved in to the
transmission. I suspect it's the front Diff ... it a Whirr at low speed.
I'll have another butchers in a couple of days, Busy tomorrow.
